Levels of Prayer

Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

"I have observed three developing and deepening levels of prayer: first is petition, where you let your requests be made known to God; second is personal, when you're comfortable in God's presence and don't feel obligated to talk but willingly listen; third is true intercession. True intercessors hear from God, know how to pray, and know what to pray for. If you become deeply personal and intimate with God, you'll come to sense His presence and hear His voice."
